The Canadian politics thread

Am I the only guy extremely amused by lack of balls by the Liberal party?

Every chance they have to bring down the Conservatives and force an election, they back out. Latest vote on the budget, most Liberals abstain, allowing the budget to pass.

The Bloc is pretty much voting against the Conservatives, and so is the NDP. Actually, the NDP is having so much fun taking potshots at Liberals, and I think winning a lot of votes from the more left leaning Liberals on issues like environment, social programs, even Afghanistan.

The Liberals are claiming to be waiting for the right moment and when they are ready to bring down the Conservatives. I'm wondering when that will ever be, as every month goes by, more the Conservatives solidify their hold on the government, and the Canadian public to get used to that Harper isn't the ultra right wing nutjob that the Liberals tried to paint him as.

On other note, so called NAFTAgate in which a leak from Canadian govt implicated Obama who is running on protectionist agenda on economics but apparently told the Canadians that it's all rhetoric might do some damage. Obama may have lost Ohio nomination in this issue.
Will be interesting how this plays out. On other hand, renegotiating NAFTA will kill a lot of Canadian economy...

Well, at least Afghanistan is a go until 2011...

Dion is a weak leader and canada should be relieved that there isnt another election. Other than my feeling that the manufacturing sector in Ontario needs more attention, i feel the conservatives are doing a good job. Paying down the debt by 10 Billion this year will free up a lot of money in the future that would have paid the interest on that money. We cant afford to have dion and his goofballs in power. Literally. If he does take power, hold onto your wallets! Now if we only had a way to impeach miller and mcguinty!

I just hear about somebody might propose a law that'd ban smoking inside cars with kids in them.

More govt regulates people's lives, less freedom people have!

No thanks. Most PDD posters don't give a rat's ass about Canadian politics, and I find most of them to be rather silly.

I want Canadians POV, hence why I made this thread here

I can't even participate here, lol...I get too worked up.

Suffice to say that I'm pretty disgusted with the CPC these days.

Offering a man dying of cancer a million dollars insurance policy for his family to vote with them...leaking a memo that impacts another country's election process...firing the head of an arms length nuclear watchdog agency because your own minister can't take responsibility for his portfolio...failing to act on a 15 yr old who's been held without due process for over 5 years, but now immediately intervening in a case in the middle east.

As far am concerned, Harper acts like a smug, deceitful, hypocritical piece of shit. I can't CALL him that or he might sue me! (even though he should be focusing on cleaning up the garbage in his own party).

I'm even more disappointed by the ineptitude of the Liberal Party to put themselves in a position to step up and turf the CPC from office.

So, I'm guessing you're voting NDP next election? lol

To be fair to Harper, Cadman allegations hasn't been proven... at least not yet

To be fair the ineptitude of Conservatives has been proven.

Balls and lack of is a matter of perspective. It is one thing to view the liberals as lacking them when the misuse, mismanagement and obvious partisan politicking on the part of the conservatives is a misuse of what their supporters would call balls.

Politics is dirty.

Not that I condone the Con-servatives, but they are doing all they can to prevent a no confidence vote that the Fiberals are just waiting to trigger. So backroom politicking happens.

I dunno who leaked Obama thing, or if Harper knew about Cadman thing or whatever, but essentially, we have a rookie govt in power. Mistakes are made.
But all things considering, the Con-servatives have delivered (IMO) on most of their key promises, and not to mention the only party to have a foreign policy that isn't based on knee jerk anti Americanism.

Bloc-heads, I dunno what's up with them, except I wonder if Duceppe knows what the hell the Quebecois want (if the provincial polls in Quebec are any indication).

New Dummy-crat Party? Can Taliban Jack put together a coherent thought together?
